Tzaziki (Garlic Cucumber Sauce)

This is a classic Greek accompaniment, usually served with pita wedges or on the side with Greek dishes. We have our souvlaki without it, but just in case you prefer souvlaki with tzaziki (too fun to say), here's a recipe.

Grate the cucumber into a small bowl and squeeze between paper towels several times to remove excess moisture. Stir in remaining ingredients and blend well; if desired, blend in food processor. Refrigerate for a minimum of one hour and serve with pita wedges, etc.
